When tyrants clash, the world fractures, and even thieves tremble.
As war looms, the future of Palimar hinges on the fated meeting of a ruler and a renegade while fledgling rebellions threaten to unravel their progress in Uprising, the second installment of the epic flintlock fantasy The Palimar Saga.
Torn apart by war, a family fights for survival against incredible odds. Palimar trembles under an ancient curse as fractured alliances rise against Drawlen, a ruthless cult of immortals. Liiesh Romanus, Drawlen’s fiercest adversary, forges a reluctant alliance with smuggler Ella Riley while her father searches for an artifact that could change the world. In his father’s absence, a young smuggler helps the Ruvian people reach their new city, only to encounter more Drawlen violence.
Meanwhile, revolutions ignite across Yvenea, sweeping Shane zem’Arta and the Red Watch into the chaos. All the while, a stranded mother and son must learn to survive in a strange land and avoid its many dangers, including a deadly Drawlen immortal.
-----
Building on Remnant’s intricate world and complex characters that captivated readers, Uprising heightens the stakes with political intrigue, epic battles, and gripping romance. Fans of The Powder Mage Trilogy and The Witcher will find themselves engrossed in this richly detailed gaslamp fantasy world where magic intertwines with muskets and power comes at a heavy price. Dive into the chaos, where thieves can become heroes, and every move could mean triumph or ruin. -
